David Montgomery Scouting Report

STRENGTHS: David Montgomery is a tremendous
downhill runner in between the tackles…he does not go down after the first
contact…a patient runner with more wiggle than you originally anticipate…plays
with great pad level…great balance…David Montgomery is an underrated receiver
out of the backfield…very productive player…

WEAKNESSES: Has questionable vision…tries
to make the big play too many times when the simple play is the more efficient
route…this leads to more negative runs than you would like to see from a
prospect with his talent…David Montgomery does not have the top end speed to
make him an elite prospect…is not a top-tier athlete…

COMP: James Conner

OVERALL: David Montgomery is a bit of a
‘throwback’ type of RB prospect. Montgomery has the capabilities and the skill
set to be an every down RB. He may not be the best athlete at the RB
position—you know what you are getting here. A player who thrives with contact
and won’t necessarily have to come off of the field. A solid player, I like
David Montgomery to come off the board in the 2nd-3rd
round range in the 2019 NFL Draft.
